The other night, as I sat on the floor of my cloffice packaging DEPOP orders with my dad while simultaneously answering DM’s on instagram, I started to read some questions I was responding to out loud. My dad stopped me in my tracks and he was like “WAIT – you answer all of the questions you receive?” He was shocked that someone can ask me…
I try to pop in with a ‘behind the gram’ post once a month for a little dose of reality, so here goes for this month!! It’s a MIRACLE, Hudson sat still long enough to snap 1 photo! ✨👏🏻 Since I’m his #1 fan I had to snap a pic of him in this adorable @Carters bear tee + share that Carter’s…
Something you don’t hear too many bloggers mention on their platform is growth, but behind the scenes it’s something that’s talked about a lot. Of course, engagement is very important as well (how many likes or comments your photos are receiving) in order to prove your “influence” to brands that are hiring you, but like I mentioned in this post, growth is what I tend…
As a kid, you have all of these dreams. When I journaled in high school, I LITERALLY wrote about how I wanted to have a house filled with 70’s style shag carpeting, polka dotted walls and a retro VW bus out front that I painted myself. These were actual dreams of mine when I was 14. Then of course you grow up and you realize…
I love posting one of these per month, and I thought Valentines day is a great day to get real with ya’ll! Here’s 5 things behind the images! Latte in a cone and polka dots kind of day ☕️🍦❤️ Post a picture of your favorite polka dotted look, tag and follow @MinnieStyle + add #RocktheDotsContest2018 in the caption, to enter to win 2…
One of the biggest hot button topics right now in the world of instagram is “growth.” I’ve personally always been very growth focused, especially when I worked as a social media manager. Of course you want to stay creative, post consistently and keep the quality of your editing and images high, but in my eyes growth is the MOST important thing, and if my growth…
There’s this huggggge stigma revolving around bloggers claiming that the job is easy, it isn’t really work, it isn’t even really a JOB, etc. etc. Yes, I get it, walking around a mall and shopping doesn’t feel like work a lot of the time, and picking selects from line sheets is still REALLY fun, but there’s a lot of other aspects to the job that…
*This post was sponsored by Uber, but all opinions are my own. Some days the monotony of just waking up and brushing my teeth gets to me – yup, I feel bored and unexcited by like 7:02 AM. Sad, but I am sure a lot of you #adults out there feel me. A lot of my weeks are filled with chores, like cleaning the kitchen counter…
The other day Matt and I were talking about instagram growth, and how it’s tied into a lot of bloggers self confidence. It feels great when you work hard, shoot great content, and then see the hard work pay off. But, sometimes you work hard, shoot great content, and for some reason your growth slows down, people don’t love your work, or you just plain…
It’s been a while since I posted a “behind the instagram” personal post, and I thought this week would be great for one! We made it through the craziness of the holiday season, and here we are focusing more on the kind of content that this blog was built on in January. We have been thoroughly enjoying shooting travel + fashion posts, and here’s some…
So far we’re only 8 days into the New Year and about 1/2 of my girlfriends told me they’re pregnant. lol! I am seriously so excited because having gone through it, I get to be their little pregnancy guide, and help them out as much as I can (minus the ones who are on baby number two, of course!) This weird thing happens to me…
I started a tradition last year in sharing a year in review post with images that Matt shot on film (You can read last years post here) and I decided to continue this year! It’s a great way to share some of the more behind-the-scenes pictures that never make the blog or instagram, and also a way to show you that we are indeed just…
After talking about this with SO many other bloggers, I finally had to write a post about something that I am so internally torn about in this profession. So many of you message me and ask me “How do you afford all of these things all of the time??” and I know that the big question mark is how do bloggers do…
One of the biggest things that everyone has asked us over the past month is “How Are You Liking Living In a House???” They keep mentioning to us how much better it probably is than apartment living, and it definitely does have it’s pros. But that is the thing, it has it’s pros AND it has it’s cons, just like everything else in the universe, and…
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone living in the United States! I have been meaning to write this personal post for a while, but found Thanksgiving to be the perfect opportunity to share it. One of the biggest reasons I did not want to make the leap into becoming a full-time blogger is because of the crippling fear that I would lose site of my…
I didn’t write this post ahead of time, because I wanted to write exactly how I feel in this moment on this big day, my baby’s first birthday. I never realized how meaningful birthdays were to the moms until I became one. He has no idea what today is, or what it means and I have been an emo lunatic leading up to it. Exactly…
I’ve had the same conversation with multiple bloggers in the same week (Dany & Tim) and it made me realize it’s something I’ve been thinking about myself . Being an “influencer” or a “blogger” was once just normal people living their lives and talking about it on the internet. I started this blog when I was broke, paying my rent via Etsy and snapping outfit photos on…
I always share monthly Hudson updates with you guys, and try to fill you in on what’s been going on in the world of motherhood, but sometimes I worry that it gets really glossed over on the internet, as things always do on social media. So I wanted to take a moment here on “Personal Wednesday” to address how dang hard it is to be…
Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love May God watch over you from above Tomorrow I’m workin’ what would I do I’d be lost and lonely if not for you -Tom Petty My dad used to sing that to me every night before bed when I was a little girl. We would look at the gas station out my window in NY, he would turn on…
You guys seemed to love this insight into how being a blogger works, and getting a glimpse into the reality behind the squares, so I am excited that this little series will be sticking around! I will definitely try to post 1 of these a month (probably on the week that I don’t have any groundbreaking personal thoughts haha). It’s been a really really busy…
